Expert help needed!

This game is starting to give me a migrane! I am seriously contemplating either selling it or snapping it in half! First problem is that I am still having problems winners headers in the game, especially in my penalty area. The CPU always outjumps me and scores a late goal from a cross or corner kick. I presume this is one of the many examples of the CPU cheating to score a late goal.

Furthermore, how comes when I sometimes press a butoon to either pass or shoot, there is a minor pass, which always results in me, being intercepted

Another problem, how comes my players are so slow in intercepting the ball and when they eventually gets close to a player, they always backs of or even stops, so giving away precious yards space?

One final problem, how comes my players are so slow to recovery after a tackle? The ball gets taken from them and they still march on!

I am glad I got that off my chest!

Do you use the player form arrows to help pick your team? If not then you could be using players who are playing very much worse than their stats say they should. The thread explaining all of the form arrows is at the top of the Hints + Tips section.
So playing those on better form arrows should improve your success in these areas. And you may have to try to play a safer pass that you can (mostly/hopefully) be sure won't be intercepted by the CPU - by aiming at a player who is on his own in space.

Holding down R1 all the time also results in a lack of control so let go of that and try using R2 more often.

You can try playing against another person and see if these things still happen against them.

I certainely do use player form, picking players on either red or green but alas,the problems still remain.

all i can say is just keep going it was doing my head in and all of sudden i just got good.

make sure you pass alot to create space and cosses are no where near as effective in pes5 as they were in 4 you need to find other way to score.

just keep going it will be all good in the end

Hilarious mate lol
I too was having similar problems when first making the transition from we7i to we8i...seemed i was losing the air battle on every cross. Just learned to be more patient and not rush the cross, also, tap square just b4 ball is near player rather than hold it down, that has helped me alot

Tip for avoiding (MOST) goals from corners
Note: you have to be quick...
When your oponent wins a corner just move a tall player (or the first one you get control of) to the first post.
So when they put that corner in for the penalty area tap X to intercept that ball.
It doesn't work 100% as players (even tall ones with good heather/jump values) sometimes fail to cut the cross.
But as I said it's the best tactic to avoid those late timer goals...
Good luck
